Happy Wednesday.

Where are you working today? I’m still waiting for your message.. let’s cowork soon?

Here’s my workplace view today.

For this week's exploration, we're diving into two exciting trends: the growing popularity of Canva as a design tool and the rise of co-living spaces in the Philippines, particularly among digital nomads and remote workers.

The Rise of Co-Living Spaces in the Philippines

• What Are Co-Living Spaces?: Co-living spaces are shared living environments where individuals have their private rooms but share common areas like kitchens, living rooms, and workspaces. These spaces foster a sense of community among residents, often hosting events and activities that encourage networking and collaboration.

• Why Co-Living is Trending: The rise of remote work and digital nomadism has increased the demand for flexible, affordable, and community-oriented living arrangements. Co-living spaces cater to this need by offering amenities like high-speed internet, workspaces, and social areas, making them ideal for digital nomads.

• Philippines as a Co-Living Hub: In the Philippines, co-living spaces are popping up in major cities and tourist destinations like Makati, Cebu, and Siargao. These spaces attract a mix of local and international remote workers, creating vibrant communities of like-minded individuals who share a passion for travel and work-life balance.

• Popular Co-Living Spaces: Some notable co-living spaces in the Philippines include Draper Startup House in Cebu, which focuses on fostering entrepreneurial communities, and Outpost Beach Hostel in Palawan, known for its beachfront location and strong community vibe.
